Frequently asked questions

Answers to the most common questions about this template.

How does the use-by date tracking work?

The template has a use-by date column with conditional formatting that highlights in red any products expiring within 3 days and in yellow those expiring within the next week.

Can I record more than one supplier per product?

Yes. Each product has fields for a main and an alternative supplier, each with its own price, so you can compare them.

How often should I update the inventory?

We recommend a physical count at least once a week, ideally on the same day each week. The template includes columns to record the date of each count.

Does it include product categories?

Yes. Products are organised by category (meat, fish, vegetables, dairy, dry goods and so on) on separate tabs, with an overall summary view.
